    Thank you for opening up the opportunity to share comments in regards to the changes, as well as making changes to the regulations that allow for more freedom in development. As helpful as the changes are, the IVO team as well as industry partners have ideas on how the changes could be even more helpful. (1.) Implementation of a "catch-all" plan to allow for a case by case review of proposed wireless products. Innovation by nature requires a certain amount of outside the box thinking. A "catch-all" would allow for a company to possibly be granted a waiver if a new project may not fit perfectly into the existing guidelines. Currently the regulations work very well in regards to conventional wireless charging utilizing magnetic inductance but leave room for other forms of wireless power technology to be overlooked. IVO Ltd. has developed a method to transmit power wirelessly utilizing the electric field but has suffered under the current regulations as they are not a one size fits all solution. One way to implement this would be to allow manufacturers to conduct transactions with other manufacturers in a business to business setting during the review process, and only ceasing to transact if the review comes back rejected. Not being able to fit the current regulations comes with an obvious economic penalty which will dampen future innovation. (2.) Another area for improvement would be amending the rule that restricts to "indoor use only". Advancements in wireless power technology has led to an increase in possible uses outside of just consumer electronics. Electric vehicles, unmanned vehicles or even charging small electronics over greater distances would require more freedom to develop outside the confines of a building. With our presidential administration's plan to bolster EV charging infrastructure and pushing advancements through the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act clearly shows the desire to truly advance the American use of future technologies. IVO Ltd. has developed wireless charging solutions that could be utilized to further advance the EV infrastructure as well as increasing the scope of use for unmanned vehicles. Respectfully, The IVO Ltd. Team
